Balls.

Great Big Brass ones.....

Wow.

CWO Crist, you are a class act!

And I bet his decision process took less time than a blink of your eye.

There is a guy with supreme confidence in his equipment and pilot. He literally let it all hang out for a wounded buddy. Liberals and anti-American politicians can never understand that kind of sacrifice. You’d never see a soldier/Marine do that for his congressman.

Ping.

I know you have not posted since April of 2004 and hope you are safe and well. Your comments concerning Army aviation are missed.

I’m shocked that this was even possible from a physical standpoint. I guess these new fangled helicopters have much different controls than the old ones I was used to.

Way to go CWO!

There are men and then there are men like CWO Crist. Them ain’t the bells of St Mary’s that ring when he jogs.
